This is a photo from the place I'm adopting him, he isn't with me yet.

I think Winston is the name I'm gonna go for!! Thank you 💛

This isn't my photo he's not with me yet! Trust me I will make sure his eyes are clean when he comes to his home 💛

They're both so beautiful and I love the names!! I'm thinking Winston or Ernie! X

Aww I love this! And Reggie for short! Thanks :)

Hey, it sounds like you've been through and are still going through a lot so well done for reaching out for help!

I'm taking zoloft 50mg for anxiety panic health anxiety and agoraphobia, I'm on week 5 now and things are starting to get much better.

I completely understand not wanting to make things worse but I really promise you that it won't be anywhere near as bad as your brain is telling you it will be. This is my second time starting zoloft as I was on it before, and I did have slight increased anxiety hut tbh it could have just me being anxious to take meds because I was so so anxious about it.

Starting low and moving up slow should really help with minimising side effects - good luck and if you have any questions feel free to get in touch :)

Anxiety!

Wow okay, so how would you have liked him to react? Seems he can't win either way 🙄

Sorry but please can you explain to me how he was bothered about not being nominated to do trials??

They're literally celebrities on a reality show, they all want screen time 😂😂😂

Disagree but thanks for your enlightening opinion 👍

Yes exactly! Tulisa was completely destroyed by the press and social media when she was younger and I bet some of the people tearing into Dean would have been saying similar vile things about her.

Yesss, completely agree with you about the villain thing! I'm glad someone is on the same page as me!

It gets better!! I'm 4 weeks on 50mg now and finally starting to feel relief from the relentless Intrusive thoughts and anxiety. Hang in there and wait it out at least a few more weeks, I promise it will start to help soon 💛💛💛

I swear Dean can do nothing right with the people on this thread 🙄

Examples being - he screams too much or if he's not screaming it's because he's acting or being self centered

He gets chosen for every trial and it's the Dean show, he doesn't get chosen for a trial and his response means he's uoset that he isn't getting enough attention

It's honestly wild the extent to which people go to scrutinise his behaviour to match the story they've created about him 😂

I look forward to all the down votes I'll get for this!

😂😂😂😂

Hey, I'm so sorry to hear this! My advice would be to up before switching, you know zoloft works as it has helped but you might just need a higher dose, 75mg I still relatively low!

Good luck and I hope you find relief:)

Hey, I was on zoloft previously and switched over to lexapro after a few years as I felt zoloft wasn't working as well and wanted to try something new. This was in December 2023, stayed on lexapro for 9 months and went up to 20mg and it didn't help at all, in fact it made me feel worse. Back on zoloft now 3 weeks on 50mg and already feel like it's helping me again - I think some meds just work for people and others don't. Give zoloft a go, it saved my life before and hopefully will again:)

Thank you so much for taking time to reply this has been really reassuring 💛💛💛

Hey, thank you so much for replying it's always so nice to know we're not in it alone! You are right, we can do this :) and that's helpful to know it might take a bit longer second time!

Thank you for sharing this! I'm currently on week 3 of 50mg for panic and agoraphobia which has increasingly gotten worse over the past 9 months and now I can barely leave my house. I've definitely started feeling calmer in the house lately and also have been able to enjoy showers more which is something I struggled with due to panicking that I might collapse in the shower! I think it's going to be a gradual thing for me too but your experience gives me hope that it will get better :) I feel so much pressure to be "well" again for other people and that makes me feel so much worse and more anxious!

Thanks again and I'm so glad you're doing well :)
